Philosophy & Vision
I support service providers, teams, organisations and communities who are committed to trauma recovery, healing and justice. Services offered include debriefing, supervision, wellbeing support, training and capacity building, as well as bespoke EAP programs.
Background
I am an independant practitioner who has held service delivery, management, board, consultant and volunteer roles in diverse contexts - such as human rights, government, education, community, legal, mental health and professional services organisations.
Services
I primarily work with service providers, teams, organisations and communities:
- Contributing to social justice, human rights and environmental justice
- Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
- Implementing redress for institutional abuse
- Assisting people and communities responding to and recovering from trauma
- Responding to the climate crisis with a commitment to a more secure future for next generations
My approach is informed by a commitment to an intersectional anti-oppressive orientation, informed by pluralistic modalities and guided with cultural mentoring.
